Then Isaiahthe prophetcameto KingHezekiahand saidto him, "Whatdid thesemensay,and from wherehave they cometo you?" And Hezekiahsaid,"They have comefrom a farcountry,from Babylon."
Then Isaiahsaidto Hezekiah,"Hearthe wordof the LORD.
"Have I coveredmy transgressionslike Adam,By hidingmy iniquityin my bosom,
OnceGodhas spoken;TwiceI have heardthis:That powerbelongs to God;
He who concealshis transgressionswill not prosper,But he who confessesand forsakes[them] will findcompassion.
Speak,"Thussaysthe LORD,'The corpsesof menwill falllike dungon the openfield,And like the sheafafterthe reaper,But noonewill gather[them].'"
Then Joshuasaidto Achan,"My son,I imploreyou, givegloryto the LORD,the Godof Israel,and givepraiseto Him; and tellme nowwhatyou have done.Do not hideit from me."
